Some of you are farmiliar with the "compact6" site, a place where owners and "in-process builders" of ti/6's call home (myself included). This site is run by Ben Liaw (Rogue Engineering), and we (compact6 people) have suggested a meet sometime (in the north east)in the spring of 2003 for all the ti owners interested in a get together. No date or final location has been set as of yet, but most likely it will be at the Rogue Enginering location in NJ. (No, I don't know exactly where that is)
Activities could include an autocross, car show (maybe even prizes) possible arrests... HOT chicks are welcome, of course, if they aren't wasting their time with the rice-cars.
Anyone interested in participating, please let me know. This meet is open to all ti's, regardless of propultion system (Yes, steam power is OK this time), and I think it will be a great time for "show-n-shine" as well as telling lies to one another about our cars. [jim.leach@sulzer.com]
Anyone??

I have to say that I am very dissapointed that no one on this site is interested in having a ti-meet next spring.
Don't you all want to meet each other in person? Check out each other's cars and get some ideas for your own ride?
If it was not made clear, EVERYONE is invited, not just 6-cylinder conversion ti's. Also, people who just like ti's are invited. You don't even have to own one!
Let's have some fun! | | | | | 01-12-2003, 08:33 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 |
Sounds like a good get together. I could make it to NJ, as I live in MD and go to school in PA. (Scheduling around major projects in classes could be a problem but pending those...) Im there.

Sorry I havent visited the site in about a month. I really like the idea of the Ti Fest '03. Ive seen alot of Ti's down here in MD (YOU know who you ARE!) Come on people!
Im curious in the details of the fest (provided people actually wanna go) such as lodging.
Well, Im off to try and talk my gf's dad into buying her a BMW (im pushing for a '93 525) to replace her POS 95 Cavalier. Ill check back soon on this. | | | | | 01-15-2003, 03:49 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westchester, NY Posts: 234 |

Thanks for the response!
I will post information as soon as it's available.
I have asked for more details, and I will also find out about lodging.

Ok everybody! it looks like this is going to happen! The location will be the world famous Rogue Engineering parking lot!!! Activities could include a set of scales available for race-spec corner weighting, and Ben tells me there is a dynomometer near by which can be rented for something like $80.00 (I'm all over that...). There will of course be a "show-n-shine" event, but no word on prizes, or what they might be. The date we have set is April 26th, which is a Saturday. It may change, but as of now, that's it. Ben has said there is plenty of lodging around the Rogue Engineering location, but suggested that staying in NYC would be a lot more fun... There MAY be a small charge (around five bucks) to cover food, but that has not been confirmed yet. This is just to keep everyone "in the loop" that there MAY be a small charge (not the $20.00+ you get nailed for at most shows...). For details and to "register" please check out tifest@rogueengineering.com. Once you are listed, you will receive up-dates and other needed information straight from Ben. So, everyone's going to go, right??? ------------------ "Speed's just a question of money.

I just sent an e-mail out to Roundel magazine, as well as the CT Valley chapter regarding the up-coming ti Fest.
Hopefully, one or both of them will post a bit for us.
Keep your eyes peeled, and tell your friends!

Living in Cleveland I will most likely be there in spirit only. But great to see activity here and kudos to J!m and RE for working to make it happen. Somebody take some pics and movies- please!

That's a great idea!
I'll talk to Ben and see if he will post them on his site... | | | | | 01-31-2003, 05:15 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 |
Ill bring a digital camera to the event and take pics of EVERYTHING. Is it april yet?  | | | | | 02-04-2003, 04:10 PM | #14 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
That's a great idea. I only work with film, and after development they have to be scanned...
